Honestly, I see the news, but no one has said yet just how and why the fuck the first lady presided over the fucking UN Security Council?
WTF? Why was this even a thing? The fuck is wrong with the UN?
Honestly, this is the moment where it feels hopeless. If this fucking asshole can put his hooker wife in front of the world, and the world capitulates... There's no one coming to help us, the epstien class has won, they have all the power and are rubbing our noses in it.
The US is a permanent member of the security council and can choose their delegation.
It doesn't make it any less insane. they are just rolling over to this madman.
Not really anything different than before. Members take turns chairing meetings and as a permanent member the US has final say on everything.
The thing is that it's so out of the left field that you either call off the whole thing because of "conflicting schedules" to save face or you're left scrambling
